In 2017 he was chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Rights. Previously King served as a member of the Iowa State Senate. Rep.

Strongly pro-life,[2] Rep. Steve King is the lead sponsor on the Heartbeat Bill to prohibit abortion after a heartbeat is detectable in the unborn child. Phyllis Schlafly called Rep.

The Left and the GOP establishment have falsely accused King of being a "white nationalist" because he associated with the conservative, patriotic, and pro-Israel Austrian Freedom Party, among other frivolous reasons.[4][5] The media twisted King's statements while other Republicans frequently caved and sided with the media.[6][7][8][9] While the GOP moved to punish King for being misquoted, neither Democrats nor Republicans made any move to reprimand far-left anti-Semitic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and Democrats did not even criticize her,[10] and they rewarded Ilhan Omar despite her strongly anti-Israel stances.[11]
